I thank the gentleman for his personal remarks about how important the mail--receiving mail and receiving communication--is. There were 7 million people in the European theater during World War II, and there were many names that were exactly the same that these women had to sort through. In fact, there were some 7,500 individuals named ``Robert Smith,'' and they had to figure out precisely who was to receive what mail. They did this, and they did this in very difficult environments and were able to provide the morale that was so key to all of these soldiers, sailors, and airmen and -women in their service. So I suggest to my friend from Ohio that we close. I reserve the balance of my time.
